Sambhogakâya (Sk.). One of the three “Vestures” of glory, or bodies,
obtained by ascetics on the “Path”. Some sects hold it as the second, while
others as the third of the Buddhahshêtras; or forms
of Buddha. Lit., the “Body of

Compensation” (See
Voice of the Silence, Glossary iii). Of
such Buddhakshêtras there are seven, those of
Nirmanakâya, Sambhogakáya and Dharmakâya, belonging
to the Trikâya, or three-fold quality.
